MindFreedom International News - 2 January 2010
Unite for Human Rights in Mental Health - please forward


   *This* Friday, 8 January 2010 is *YOUR* Deadline!

   You Can Speak Out to Demand the USA Investigate the Electroshock 
Device

   It Takes Just a Moment for You to Comment Via the Web


The US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has *never* investigated the 
machine used in the psychiatric procedure known as electroshock or 
Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT).

The FDA is proposing to make their negligence permanent, and label the 
shock device "low risk."

You have only days to say "no" to the FDA's proposed reclassification 
from Class III to Class II.

Act now, before the FDA deadline of *this* Friday, 8 January 2010.

It takes just a moment for you to comment on the FDA web site. 
Electroshock survivors are counting on *YOU*!

The FDA says that quantity counts!

~~~~~~~~~~

* * * ACTION * * * ACTION * * * ACTION * * *

    YOUR EASIEST ACTION:

Go directly to the FDA comment page about electroshock here:

http://bit.ly/FDAECT

At the least say,

"I oppose the FDA's proposed reclassification of the ECT device to 
Class II. The FDA should investigate the ECT device for safety and 
effectiveness. The FDA should call for Pre-Market Approval 
Applications for the device."

Of course, if you add specific reasons and evidence, that is even 
better.

But at the *very* least register YOUR public opposition to FDA rubber 
stamping electroshock, NOW!

Before it is too late!
